Images of Elliptical Galaxies

 

Elliptical galaxies are galaxies which have not developed a spiral structure.  In amateur scopes they look much like the central core of a spiral galaxy.  However, large telescopes reveal that the spiral arms have not developed.  Many of these galaxies are in the Virgo Cluster.
